Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

BB DbDb E MajorE F#F# BB EbmEbm

[Verse 1]

BB
Washing out cigarettes in the bathroom
   DbDb
Should probably only give my opinion when I'm asked to
  E MajorE     F#F#         BB             EbmEbm
I'm really good at telling the half truth but usually only when I have to
 BB
The money doesn't work, the chain doesn't work
 DbDb
Something broken in my brain, got me praying in the dirt
 E MajorE               F#F#
Got me stranded in my bed like I'm laying in the hearse
     BB            EbmEbm
And the grass is always greener when you play on astroturf
   BB
Wonder why my generation poppin' pills and poppin' percs
  DbDb
And got some weed and got some purp and got some bars and got some syurp
       E MajorE                F#F#
And got some Jordan's on my feet, I went and matched them with my shirt
     BB               EbmEbm
And I just instagrammed them both to show you that I got them first
   BB
Got a Louis duffel bag, I got my girl a purse
     DbDb
I'm tryna find God through a purchase, I'm not tryna go to church
     E MajorE      F#F#          BB         EbmEbm
Amen, satan told me not to serve, I only think about myself, I only think about my work
  BB
I only think about my come-up, capitalism
 DbDb
Look at where we come from, we are what we run from
 E MajorE  F#F#      BB     EbmEbm
We are why we smoke some, so numb, so numb, so numb

[Chorus]

  BB
I'm a tell you what you need to know
   DbDb
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
   E MajorE     F#F#
Cause the truth would be too much
   BB           EbmEbm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
  BB
I'm a tell you what you need to know
   DbDb
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
   E MajorE     F#F#
Cause the truth would be too much
   BB           EbmEbm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be

[Verse 2] - Chance The Rapper

BB DbDb E MajorE F#F# BB EbmEbm
 BB
I cry when she smile with her eyes closed
  DbDb
I'm already afraid to tight clothes
 E MajorE           F#F#
I want all her best friends to be white folks
         BB
I scratched out this line so many times, I can't forget it
   EbmEbm
It's fucked up, I almost say it every time that I edit
  BB
I swear rapping make it easy to lie
     DbDb
But secrets don't make it easy to write
  E MajorE        F#F#
I met the devil in Manhattan, quickly ended discussion
    BB       EbmEbm
I don't need a thing, he warned of repercussions
    BB
But I know he come in all forms, that won't be his last visit
  DbDb
Time is moving fast and I'm running with a pair of scissors
  E MajorE        F#F#
Looking in the mirror like, "Damn that ain't my dad, is it?"
   BB          EbmEbm
He handed the torch but he ain't hold my hand did it?
     BB
I spent a plenty penny on microphones, many midis
 DbDb
Any of those cities, I put the indie in Windy City
 E MajorE
Indian giver, Black father, White liar
  F#F#
Right next to Yeezy like Mike Myers
     BB
Stare at the cue cards, take out the juke parts
         EbmEbm
Take out the God references, just leave the cool parts
    BB
I remember opening for Ben, wasn't no liquor at the show
      DbDb
And now the white girls call me nigga at my show
   E MajorE
I wish that I could open twice, sit down at the open mic
  F#F#
Go back to the day before I became famous over night
      BB
I wish that I could open twice, sit down at the open mic
 EbmEbm
Go back to the day before I became famous over night

[Chorus]

  BB
I'm a tell you what you need to know
   DbDb
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
   E MajorE     F#F#
Cause the truth would be too much
   BB           EbmEbm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
  BB
I'm a tell you what you need to know
   DbDb
I'm a tell you what you need to hear
   E MajorE     F#F#
Cause the truth would be too much
   BB           EbmEbm
Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
